Auditions at the Rodeo Go-Go and Los Sueños Private Club

Another day, another audition for a picky Starlight Shores venue proprietor. This time, it’s the turn of Nestor Bryan, owner of the Rodeo-Go-Go.

Nestor: Okay, Tyron, I’ve heard wonderful reviews of your work, but I obviously need to check if it’s true, so let’s hear you sing.

Tyron wastes no time and begins the performance of his now classic Romantic Sing-a-gram.

As always, he brings great feeling to his interpretation, which instantly leaves Nestor spellbound.

The bouquet of flowers at the end is a must, an important part of Tyron’s finely practiced routine.

Nestor: Aw, for me? Why, Tyron, you’re such a sweetheart. Tyron: Yeah, well, the flowers…

Tyron: Um, those are included with the sing-a-gram. Nestor: Oh, I see you came well prepared. Anyway, they’re lovely, and your audition was impressive.

Tyron: You mean I got the gig? Nestor: You don’t beat around the bush, huh? Good, I respect a man who knows what they want.

Tyron: More like what I need, which is work, if you’ll give me an opportunity. Nestor: You’re a determined young man, I like that. So yeah, the job is yours. Tyron: Thank you, Mr. Bryan, You won’t regret it. Nestor: I know I won’t. And please, just call me Nestor. Tyron: Okay, Nestor.

Nestor: Now I have to warn you, the Rodeo crowd is pretty demanding. I’ll give you the opportunity, but you’ll have to win them over. Tyron: You can be sure I’ll give them my all.

Yes! Tyron secured a gig at the Rodeo-Go-Go for Wednesday at 8 p.m. Way to go! He had previously gotten performances at Mick's Master Karaoke as well, for Tuesday. But it wouldn't hurt to fill the week with shows on Thursday and Friday, so next stop: Los Sueños Private Club.

Once at Los Sueños Private Club, Tyron impressed proprietor Danica Bland with a “Good Work” sing-a-gram, which was perfectly suited to her reputation as a very dedicated businesswoman.

She also loved the little plush toy that came with the message.

Danica: This is so cute, I’ll put it on my night table. Tyron: I’m glad you like it. Now, what did you think of my singing? Danica: Oh, your voice is amazing. Plus, you’re good-looking and a real charmer.

Danica: I'm sure the people in the club will love you at first sight! Tyron: Does that mean I got the gig? Danica: Sure, consider yourself hired. Tyron: Wow, thanks, Danica. Danica: My pleasure. Now, how about we celebrate together?

Tyron admits Danica is very attractive, a girl he would definitely date (if he was single, that is). He would certainly celebrate with her too, if he wasn't dead tired and didn't have two more venues to visit. Not to mention he wants to be home early for Kayla and Brandi. Tyron: Well, I’d love to, but I still have two more auditions to attend. Danica: That’s okay, we’ll get to know each other better on the day of the gig.

The deal is done, Tyron must report to Danica on Thursday at 5 pm. Of course he'll be there on time. He would never ruin the opportunity to perform at a club as prestigious as Los Sueños. Now, straight to the Port-a-Party Warehouse!

Time Traveler: E234. Shocking News (Part 1) 4/4

"Dyl..." Karen mumbled. ��What’s going on with Robin’s DNA, Dad?” Dustin pressed. “Do you have the test results yet?” Juliette joined in. “Yes,” Dylan answered without hesitation. “Oh my God, Dyl,” Karen groaned.

“What happened to waiting for the right moment?” she complained. “This can’t wait, especially after what happened to Rob,” Dylan replied. “So you do have the results”, Dustin affirmed. “Since when?” Juliette wanted to know. “Uh, a few days ago,” Karen answered.

“Days?” Juliette exclaimed. “You’ve had them for days and only now you’re telling her?” Dustin claimed. “We wouldn’t want to scare you,” Dylan told Juliette.

“Scare me?” she snapped. “Why? What’s wrong with Robin’s DNA?” “Enough suspense, guys, just talk already”, Dustin urged them. “Guys, calm down, okay?” Dylan answered. “Calm down?” Juliette whined. “You’ve been hiding vital information, and you ask us to calm down?”

“We weren’t hiding it, we were just waiting for the right moment to tell you,” Karen explained. “Well, now’s the right time, so let’s hear it,” Dustin countered. “All right, Dyl, go ahead and tell them.”

Dylan took a deep breath and was about to speak, but the sound of footsteps on the staircase forced him to remain silent. “Hey, can I join the conversation?” the youngest of the Shens asked, stopping at the doorway.

Everyone turned toward him at the same time. “Logan, you scared the hell out of me!”, Karen protested. “We thought you’d be asleep at this hour,” Dylan added. “I’ve been awake for a while, I heard you guys talking, so…” “What exactly did you hear?” Karen asked.

“Everything,” Logan replied. “That Robin was abducted by an alien spacecraft. That Dr. Beaker and you guys made contact with, um, alien visitors, and… what’s the deal with Robin’s DNA, by the way?”

“That's exactly what we're going to talk about now,” Dylan said. “But first, I must warn you this won't be easy to take in, especially for Jul, so I suggest that you all calm down and take a seat. Your mother and I will explain everything…”

(To be Continued)

Time Traveler: E234. Shocking News (Part 1) 3/4

“Those aren’t rumors,” Karen broke in. “It’s true. Bjorn has had not one, but several close encounters of the third kind.” “Karen...” Dylan protested.

“How do you know that, Mom? Dad? Did Bjorn tell you something?” Dustin asked. “Worse", Karen hurried to answer. "He introduced us to his E.T. friend.’” “Kay, please…” Dylan begged.

“Whoa, whoa. Hold on... E.T.? Bjorn Beaker introduced you guys to an alien?”, Dustin intervened. “You mean you’ve had close encounters too?” Juliette seconded him.

“What are you waiting for, Dyl? Tell them,” Karen muttered. “I- I don’t know if it’s a good idea…” “Robin was abducted. And it’s very likely it was them, or to be more exact, her.”

“Her?” Dustin snapped. “Who are you talking about? Who is her?” Juliette demanded.

Dylan sighed. “Okay, guys. Listen… Yes, Bjorn has been in contact with aliens, and… your mother and I have too.” “What?” Juliette and Dustin exclaimed at the same time.

“So you’ve actually been in contact with aliens? Since when?” Dustin asked. “Why didn’t you tell us this before?” Juliette complained.

“First off, it wasn’t aliens, plural, it was just one, a girl to be precise,” Karen corrected. “For goodness’ sake, Kay,” Dylan protested. “An alien girl, are you guys serious?” Dustin reacted.

“Dad, would you explain what the hell is going on here?” he demanded. Dylan cleared his throat as their children looked at him in disbelief. “All right, before we get into that, there’s something even more important you guys need to know.” “What could be more important than you guys having close encounters of the third kind?” Dustin remarked. “Robin. And his DNA.” Dylan replied.

[anamoon63]

Time Traveler: E234. Shocking News (Part 1) 2/4

“What do you mean you don't know?", Karen asked. "Did he decided to go back to the future or…?” Dylan started. “It's none of that", Dustin answered. “Then what? Please, be more specific,” Dylan pleaded.

“We’ll explain everything. Shall we go inside? It’s not good news, so I think you’d better sit down,” Dustin suggested. Dylan and Karen wouldn't sit down, so, once in the living room, they received the shocking news on their feet.

"Robin abducted by an alien ship? How? When?” Dylan inquired. “It happened around three this morning. A ship came down into his garden and abducted him in front of his wife,” Dustin reported. “Oh my God, that must have been what we saw last night,” Karen muttered. “You saw it too?” Juliette asked. “Well, actually, we just heard it. When we went out to look, it was gone”, Dylan explained.

“See, Dyl?” Karen whipped around to face him. “I told you that didn’t seem from this world, but you didn’t believe me!” “I didn’t say I didn’t believe you, I just said it could have been a plane or something”. “It wasn’t a plane,” Dustin chimed in.

“And it definitely wasn’t from this world, we saw it up close, didn’t we, Jul?”, he added turning to his sister. “Yeah, well… At first, I thought it was a plane too, or a rocket. But after what happened to Rob, I have no doubt about it. It must have been alien, the way it roared and all those flashing lights… it was really scary,” Juliette concluded breathlessly.

“Scary and fascinating at the same time,” Dustin continued excitedly. “Please, Dad, you have to help us rescue Rob,” Juliette begged.

“Of course I want to help you, dear, but how?” “I don’t know, maybe if you talk to your friend, Dr. Bjorn Beaker?” “Bjorn?” Dylan startled. “Yeah, maybe he knows what to do,” Dustin added.

“Wait, why do you think Bjorn could…?” “Cause he’s a scientist, he must know about these things, right?” Juliette cut in. “And because of the rumors going around that he’s been in secret contact with aliens, of course” Dustin concluded. “Yeah, about that…” Dylan began.

Time Traveler: E234. Shocking News (Part 1) 1/4

The Shen household, 6 a.m...

Someone seemed determined to break down the door, judging by the desperate way they were knocking".

The frantic knocking obliged Dylan and Karen to pause their breakfast. “Who can it be at this hour?” Karen asked. “No idea, it’s barely 6 am.” Dylan replied.

“Mom, Dad, please open up, it’s us, Dustin and Jul!” Dustin exclaimed from the outside.

“Dustin and Jul? What are they doing here so early?”, Karen was startled. “I don’t know, but they sound like it's something urgent." "Well, let’s go,” Karen answered, as they both jumped up from their seats.

As soon as Dylan opened the door, Juliette threw herself into his arms. “Oh, Dad,” she sobbed. “Thank God you guys are awake,” Dustin blurted out. “It’s our usual time... Though not yours, is something wrong?” Karen asked. “Yes, we need your help urgently.” "Our help? With what?"

“Honey, you’re shaking, are you okay?” Dylan asked, stepping back to look at his daughter. “No, I'm not. Something terrible’s happened”, Juliette wept. “Oh, my God. is it Rowie?”, Karen asked. “No, Rowie’s fine,” Juliette replied. “It’s Robin.”

“Robin?”, Dylan looked surprised. “What happened to him? Was it serious?” “Where is he?” Karen asked. “We don’t know,” Juliette whispered.

Starlight Shores 6:30 pm...

Tyron is on his way home. As it’s already a little late, he has decided not to audition anymore until the next day.

He's worried that Brandi has been left home alone with Marques, the new babysitter, and with Kayla, who has no obligation to look after her.

When he arrived, he found Brandi outside, sitting on the floor. It was obvious that she needed urgent attention, but Marques was nowhere to be seen. Brandi: Daddy! Tyron: Hi, Brand… Ugh, what’s that smell? And how did you get out here in the first place? Where’s Marques?

Brandi of course didn’t know where Marques was, or how to answer all of her dad’s questions.

Tyron: All right, we’ll look for Marques right away but first let’s get you changed.

After changing Brandi’s diaper, Tyron looked around the house for Marques but couldn’t find him. Apparently, he decided to retire early – and without warning! Well, he’ll file his complaint with the agency. Meanwhile, it’s time to put Brandi to bed, which she certainly doesn’t agree with.

Brandi’s protests ended up waking Kayla, who was taking a nap on the extra bed in the nursery. Kayla: Ty? Oh, my God, what time did you get home?

Tyron: A few minutes ago, only to find that Marques left without any notice. Kayla: Oh, gosh, I’m sorry, if I’d known I wouldn’t have… Tyron: It’s okay, it’s not your fault, nor is it your responsibility to look after Brandi.

Kayla: I know, but I'll try to be more vigilant next time. Tyron: Nah, it was my mistake. I shouldn't have trusted Marques. This babysitter thing is a lottery, isn't it? Kayla: Yeah, it's a bit scary. Tyron: Yeah, next time I'll make sure they send me a more reliable person. Or I'll hire Felicia permanently.

Kayla: That's a good idea... Are you hungry? I'll go make us something for dinner. Tyron: Kayla, you don't have to. Kayla: Oh, but I want to. Kayla doesn't take no for an answer and goes down to the kitchen to make something for her and Tyron. He is left busy thinking how lucky he is to have someone as caring as her by his side.

[anamoon63]

MN8, 4 pm…

There are no sing-a-grams to deliver at the moment, so Tyron will spend the rest of the day auditioning at various venues in Starlight Shores, starting with MN8 and its owner, Clarize Eastin.

Clarize: Nice to meet you, Tyron. I've heard great things about you. Tyron: Uh, thank you, Miss Worthington. Clarize: Please, just call me Clarize. Tyron: Oh, okay. (Tyron seems a little distracted. What is he looking at? Tyron, focus. It’s your career on the line here).

Clarize got overly excited when Ty agreed to give her an autograph.

And when he wrote “to my dear, beautiful Clarize,” she completely lost it. There’s no doubt Tyron knows how to sell his brand.

Clarize: I’ll frame it and hang it on my office wall. The other owners will be green with envy when they see it. Tyron: Thanks, but I think it would be better if they heard me at your venue, rather than just seeing my signature.

Clarize: Oh, I see, you want to sing here at MN8. Tyron: That’s the idea, yeah. Clarize: Well, you know there’s a protocol for that. Tyron: You mean I have to audition, right?

Clarize: Well, there are other, um, quicker ways to get a gig, but yes, auditioning is standard protocol. Tyron: Um, then I guess I’ll stick to the standards and audition, if you don’t mind. If you have time, of course. Clarize: For you? Always, hon.

Clarize agreed to listen to Tyron sing. He's confident in his talent and skill as a singer, but just to be on the safe side, he decided to give her his latest CD. Tyron: But first, here, this is for you. Clarize: Oh. And what do we have here? Tyron: It's my latest CD, Brokenhearted.

Clarize: Brokenhearted, huh? Sounds very interesting. Tyron: Wait until you hear it, you’ll love it. Clarize: That’s for sure.

Clarize: Okay, this one’s going to my office too, on my playlist for sure. But now let’s get down to business. How about we start with something simple, like a You are Special sing-a-gram.

Honestly, Tyron wished she had asked him for a romantic sing-a-gram, cause those are his specialty, and Clarize sure would have melted, but a customer’s request is never denied, so You are Special it is.

His rendition is much better than she could have hoped for.

Clarize doesn’t even hesitate: Tyron Cho will be one of the talented artists singing at her karaoke bar this week.

After a long business discussion with the proprietor of MN8, Tyron departs at dusk. He's so cheerful and distracted that he doesn’t realize he just broke another heart, that of Alora Platt. Speaking of brokenhearted!

Things seem to be going well, but this is just the beginning; there are still several more venues to audition at! 🎤🎶

NOTE: I mistakenly named the venue Mick's Master Karaoke when it was actually MN8. The error has since been corrected, as has the name of the owner, who is not Laurel Worthington but Clarize Eastin. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

My Inzoi version of my Sims 4 OC, Allan Wilson.

Allan is still a work in progress. He's the closest version of Allan so far, but still not perfect cause he needs a lot of custom content and a hair style that's closer to the original. Keep in mind that the actual Allan is super cartoony, and Inzoi is a realistic game, but with him, just like with my other zois, I try to keep my “sim” vibe as much as possible. I mean, I love realism, but my characters have to maintain their goofy essence. Also, I have a little problem with this kind of sliders (same as in Sims 4), cause they're so hard to use! But I'm still learning, and so far, I think Allan is not looking so bad. I know he's still missing a few details, (like his stubble for instance), but I know that with the right CC, he and all my sims-to-zois will look amazing!😉

[anamoon63]

Well, breakfast is over. Kayla is taking care of the dishes.

Meanwhile, Tyron goes upstairs to look for Brandi.

Tyron: Okay, Brandi, Marques will be here in a second to give you your breakfast. Be good while I get changed for work, okay? Brandi: Isha? Tyron: Felisha will be back tomorrow. But how about I introduce you to Kayla? Would you like to meet her?

Brandi: No. I want Mommy. Tyron: Honey, I told you Mommy can’t… Brandi: I want Mommy, I want Mommy, I want Mommy! What follows is a short but intense tantrum from Brandi. She's usually a well-behaved child, but it’s obvious she misses her mother, and Tyron gets it.

It will take some time for Brandi to get used to Candice being away. It would be nice if Felisha was here. She certainly knows how to entertain her. But babysitters have rules, and one of them is they can’t work more than one shift, so for now, Marques is all they have.

It’s a good thing Kayla wasn’t in the kitchen. Tyron wouldn’t want her to feel bad about stuff like this, or think she has to win Brandi over, or bond with her. It’s too soon to burden them both with any of that. Better to take it slow.

Thank goodness Marques is already here. He'll take care of Brandi while Ty practices his guitar before leaving for work.

While Kayla is in the shower and Marques is watching Brandi, Ty practices one of his new songs.

It's finally time to go to work. Tyron: Okay, sweetie, Daddy has to go. Be good to Marques and Kayla, okay?

Brandi: I go with Daddy. Tyron: I’m sorry, sweetie, you can’t come with me right now, but as soon as I get a chance, we’ll go to the park, okay?

Brandi seems pretty calm already, so now’s a good time to leave.

Tyron: I’ll be back as soon as I can, I promise. Kayla: No rush, hon. I’m not going anywhere. Tyron: Please don’t take what Brandi says or does to heart, okay? She just… Kayla: She misses her mother, I get it. Tyron: She’s gonna need time to… you know. Kayla: I know, babe. Don’t worry.

Tyron leaves knowing that Brandi is in good hands. He really was lucky to find someone as understanding as Kayla. Hopefully, beside her, he will soon be able to forget Candice. Anyway, the help he just hired has arrived. From now on, neither Kayla nor the babysitters will have to worry about cleaning anymore.

[anamoon63]

Meanwhile, Tyron has just woken up and was a little surprised not to see Kayla next to him.

It’s best to go down and look for her, but first he needs to put on some more clothes, in case Felisha and Brandi are already out and about.

Tyron: Kay? What are you doing down here? Kayla: Well, since I don’t have to go to work today, I thought I’d help you out a bit around the house.

Tyron: That’s very kind of you, but not necessary. Felisha can take care of all this, and I’ll make breakfast for all of us. Kayla: Please Ty, let me help. Tyron: But you’re not used to this.

Kayla: Come on, just because I’m Robert Remington’s daughter doesn’t mean I can’t do anything. Tyron: I know that, and later we can divide tasks, but today is your first day here, so let me take care of you, okay? Kayla: I will if you let me spoil you by helping you with all this.

A little reluctantly, Tyron accepts Kayla’s offer of help, and together they tidy up the room the best they can.

Tyron: Thanks, Kay, I really appreciate your help. Kayla: You’re welcome, love. If you need any help around the house, don’t hesitate to ask me. Tyron: I thank you for that too, but I’ll hire someone to do the cleaning so you can concentrate on your work. I’ll concentrate on mine, and on Brandi.

Kayla: Oh, Ty, you’re so sweet. Tyron: Not as sweet as you.

They both wished they could show their affection for each other like last night, but Felisha and Brandi won’t be long to come down, so they’d better hold back until they’re in private again.

About an hour later...

Felisha has already left and Marques, the second-shift babysitter has just arrived. Before he goes upstairs with Brandi, Tyron and Kay invite him for breakfast.

Marques and Tyron engage in a guys’ conversation. Kayla isn’t paying attention; she’s busy thinking about her work and how she’s going to acquire new clients. She’ll surely have to start from scratch here.

[anamoon63]

Starlight Shores 7 am

It’s a peaceful morning at Tyron’s house. Everyone there has had an excellent sleep.

It seems like Kayla was the first to wake up.

Tyron is still asleep. That will give her a chance to do something for him, like fix breakfast or something.

She can’t make the whole bed, but at least she can make her side of it.

Kayla: Okay, let’s see how things are going downstairs. Judging by the silence, I guess Brandi and her babysitter are still sleeping.

Nope. Brandi is wide awake now and probably wondering where her dad is.

Luckily, Felisha is there for anything Brandi needs. It will be shift change soon, though, and Brandi will have to let her go.

Kayla is already downstairs, currently in the living room, which is a bit of a mess. It would be best to tidy up a bit.

Kayla: I don’t know if Ty hired someone to do the cleaning. But even if he did, a little help wouldn’t hurt.

What's going on with my blog

Warning: Sims 4/EA mini rant ahead. Read at your own risk.

Hi guys, sorry I haven't been very active this past week. I don't like it and it's not my habit to come and apologize for not posting stuff about my game, cause for me this isn't an obligation but a hobby, something I do for peace and joy. But I felt like I needed to say this, especially to those who (still) read my posts, give me notes, and leave kind comments.

To be honest, it's getting harder and harder for me to post on my two blogs, (here and WP) mainly because of my job, which, thank God, is picking up, which has improved my life and my family's, but doesn't leave me much time to play or write, except at night, if I'm not too tired, or maybe on Sundays. In addition, these last two months have been especially busy for me, both familywise and socially, due to various events (mostly happy ones, thankfully), such as birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, a reunion with my entire family (brothers, sisters, children, nieces, nephews, etc.), and even a graduation. In fact, every year from April to July is the same since most of my family decided to be born in the spring-summer months, lol.

The point is that, as things stand, I consider myself semi-retired from The Sims and even other games. However, I haven't given up on The Sims 3 completely (yet), and although slowly, I'm still working on my stories. I'm currently preparing the next episode of Time Traveler (E234), and I have a lot of footage about Tyron Cho and his adventures in Starlight Shores, which I intend to continue posting, although not at the same pace as before. Maybe once a week or so, I don't know, it depends on how I manage to organize myself with my work and personal life. I have a lot of footage from my Bridgeport Sims as well, waiting for an opportunity to be posted.

On the other hand, I confess I'm very excited with Inzoi; I'm also looking forward to the early access release of Paralives, which I'm sure will hook me as well, because I've loved everything I've seen in the previews. Not to mention all the other games waiting to be played on my Steam list. Mind you, I don't plan on abandoning The Sims 3 for now, although I confess, I haven't really played it in years, I only open the game to take pictures for my stories or check my characters' info. One thing I can tell you, though, whether I play it or not, The Sims 3 will always live in my heart.

Now, The Sims 4… Sigh. Where do I start? I do have some Sims 4 footage to post, and I will at some point, but I don't think I'll continue playing it. Ngl, The Sims 4 wasn't, isn't, and will never be my kind of game. It was a huge disappointment for me since it was released, and in many ways it still is because of how problematic it becomes every time it's updated, how complicated it is to update mods, and the bugs that take forever to be addressed and fixed by EA. Also, frankly, I can't deal with all the expansions, game packs, stuff packs, or whatever they're called. There are too many of them, they're expensive, they don't work well, and instead of adding gameplay, they just add problems. I'm not ashamed to say I don't have half of them, and the few I have I only buy them on sale, not because I can't afford them, but because I don't think they're worth what they offer.

So, I'm sad to say this, but I've given up on this game and have uninstalled it. It's a shame, because I enjoyed playing it for a while, although that was solely because of the wonderful mods created by other players. I swear, I didn't want to give up on it, but every update brought a new problem to the table.

Seriously, it makes me incredibly sad, even angry, to see how other games evolve and the way other developers respond to player requests, while EA keeps giving us… well, what they give us. Truth is, I don't want to deal with that anymore. In fact, I don't want to have anything to do with EA, unless they release The Sims 5, which I don't think is possible because they insist on continuing to milk The Sims 4. Plus, if there were a Sims 5, for me it would have to be something equal to or better than Inzoi or Paralives. At this point, the only thing that ties me to EA is The Sims 3, although I moved to Steam some time ago in order to play it, and since then, I haven't had a single problem with the game.

It's a bit of a rant, I know, but that's how I feel, and I've wanted to say it for a long time, cause I don't want to carry it around with me anymore. I've written this many times, and I always end up deleting it and not sharing it but writing what I feel is part of my therapy, so there. I said it. Not with the intention of upsetting or offending anyone, I just wanted to free myself and move on to do what I love, which is to play a game that really gives me hours of fun and immersion. Inzoi has done that so far, even in its early access stage. Believe me, the very rare times I get the chance to play it, I don't feel time go by, just like in the best days of The Sims. And I know that Paralives will be the same for me when I finally get my hands on it.

That's all. I don't know how useful this post will be for some of you, but I've been away for a while and wanted to share the state of things on my blog, just so you know. I hope to continue with my Sims 3 posts soon, but as always, I can't promise anything. The only thing I can assure you is that I'm still working on my stories, albeit at a much slower pace. Like I believe I mentioned before, “Time Traveler: To the Moon and Back” is already entirely written; what's slowing me down is taking the photos, because it's so time-consuming with all the poses and everything. My goal is to finish this and my other stories by the end of this year or early next year, give them a proper closure, and move on, to play and enjoy some new games and, of course, The Sims 3.

I also want you to know that I haven't lost interest in your stories, which I love and will continue to read in my free time. That's all. Thank you for reading this far and for understanding, I wish you all a wonderful weekend. 💖

Saiwa's inZOI Tutorials

How to enable cheat codes

How to (almost) fully edit a Zoi you already have ingame

The list with all Cheat Codes is -> here

Enable cheat codes:

Open Psycat's Guide

Click 'Enable Cheats'

To open the cheat console, press CTRL+SHIFT+C

Fully edit your ingame Zoi:

First you need your Zoi's ID: type or copy

showZoiInfo true

into the cheat console and press ENTER

Now Saiwa knows the ID's of Namjin and Minwoo! (Which weirdly is the same? ö.Ö' Edit: I found out what happened, see Edit below)

The cheat for editing the Zois is:

CustomZoi [ZoiID] Namin's ID is 8665

So Saiwa enters

CustomZoi 8665

into the cheat console . . .

and waits a few seconds. . .

There he is! Face and body and (almost) everything fully editable! (But not the name? We can't have everything, I guess ^^') (I'm so happy about that! It was such a hassle when you noticed something odd after adding the Zois into the game. I often ended up with 3-5 different versions of them standing next to each other until I decided which one to keep omg...)

To remove the Zoi Info again, type

showZoiInfo false

EDIT: If it happens to you that two Zois have the same ID (or a different Zoi than intended shows up in CAZ), try turn showZoiInfo off and on again ^^'

Now they have different IDs, In the pics above you can see Minwoos real ID even shimmering above the false one over his head ö.ö

As always, for those who would like to read my new post about the Cho Brothers without any cuts, here's a link to my WordPress Sims blog. 😉

[anamoon63]

Tyron: And… here we are. Kayla: (Chuckles) It’s about time. Tyron: Sorry I made you climb so many steps. Kayla: Well, you’ll need to find a way to make it up to me. Tyron: I definitely will.

Tyron has taken Kayla’s words very seriously and decided not to wait longer for such compensation.

To tell the truth, he’s a little nervous. Kayla is so gorgeous, and they haven’t seen each other in a long time! Plus, his bad experience with his ex-wife, Candice, has made him a little self-conscious. Kayla is aware of this, and doesn’t want to put pressure on him, so she agrees to chat in bed for a while.

She starts telling him all about her adventures at work and the details of her trip from Hidden Springs, but her small talk is short-lived. Tyron: Kay, sorry to interrupt, I’m really enjoying your stories, but…

Kayla: But? Please, Ty, go on. Is something bothering you? Tyron: Okay, listen. My divorce and everything that happened with Candice and Jasper was really hard, but I’ve gotten over it. Now I just want to move on and enjoy our new life together without looking back, okay? Ty’s words are music to Kayla’s ears.

Tyron and Kayla’s first night together as a couple was a success. His anxiety and self-doubt have vanished; and Kayla has never felt so fulfilled and blissful. Things are looking extremely promising for their relationship.

Kayla has never told Ty, but she feels a little insecure too around his ex-wife Candice. Candice is not only pretty, but also smart and has a knack for drawing men to her, like that fool Jasper, for example.

But last she heard, Jasper and his wife Madeline had reconciled, and they seem very happy. Which means Candice is alone again, so she might try to worm her way back into Tyron’s life using Brandi as an excuse. Kayla will have to watch out for her.

She waited too long, first for Tyron to forget about that brat Katie O’Dourke, and then for him to decide to divorce the unfaithful Candice. She can’t afford to lose him to any of them again.

She gets that he may never want to get married again. It's okay, Kayla doesn't want to get married yet either. But let him go? That's not going to happen.

Tyron: Anyway, how about we go upstairs? You can freshen up and rest from the trip, and I can show you around the house.

Tyron: We can also have some privacy in my bedroom… Kayla: That sounds tempting.

Tyron: So, what do you say? Shall we go up? Kayla: I’m ready when you are.

Tyron wastes no time. After instructing Felisha to keep Brandi entertained, he leads Kayla upstairs.

He doesn’t want to seem too desperate, but he has waited a long time for this moment.

Kayla has no more doubts. Tyron is the man of her life, and she has no intention of letting him go, ever.

Just one more flight of stairs separates them from heaven.
